New Doctors Without Borders Book Reveals Perils of Negotiating Access to Crisis Zones Following a two-year analysis of MSF’s past interventions, MSF will release Humanitarian Negotiations Revealed: The MSF Experience. The authors of the collected essays and case studies—MSF veterans with many decades of collective field experience—explore the practical realities of humanitarian crises through MSF’s experience in 11 complex situations. Providing behind-the-scenes accounts of MSF’s decision-making processes, they pose the question: Do we—can we—always live up to our principles? Are the struggles and compromises we make to reach people in need in places like Somalia and Myanmar so different from those we faced in Democratic Republic of Congo (then Zaire) following the Rwandan genocide, or in Ethiopia during the 1984 famine? And, as Marie-Pierre Allié, President of MSF France, writes, “How can we judge whether a compromise is acceptable?” Check out this interview on WNYC with one of the authors.
